Error when uploading files via API
Hi,
I recently started having issues uploading files to dropbox via API. The error returned is
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
The output via curl is as below
* using HTTP/1.x
> POST /2/files/upload HTTP/1.1
Host: content.dropboxapi.com
Accept: */*
Authorization: Bearer MyBearerToken
Dropbox-API-Arg: {
"path":"file_to_upload",
"mode":"add",
"autorename": true,
"mute": false,
"strict_conflict": false
}
Content-Type:application/octet-stream
Content-Length: 1130353
Expect: 100-continue
< HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
< Content-Length: 1005
< Content-Type: text/html
< Vary: Accept-Encoding
< X-Dropbox-Response-Origin: local

Anybody know what could be happening?
Thank you in advance
Hi Ross82,
Such an error appear when you have something wrong in your parameters. If you haven't reformatted your headers to post them here, then you have wrong HTTP header (every header in the header block should appear in a single line - your arguments are spread on multiple lines - bad syntax). If not exactly this, then there is something similar. In all cases there is content:

Hope this gives direction.
